Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) continued his deranged, one-man crusade against the Koch brothers on Wednesday, accusing the libertarian philanthropists of being the “main cause” of climate change.

“The multizillionaire Koch brothers,” Reid said, are “the two richest people in the world,” and are primarily to blame for what some liberals refer to as “climate change.”

“They are one of the main causes of [climate change],” Reid said. “Not a cause, the main cause.”

FACT CHECK:

“The multizillionaire Koch brothers”

False. “Zillion” is not a real number.

“The two richest people in the world”

Nope. According to Forbes, the two richest people in the world are Democratic donor Bill Gates, and New York Times investor Carlos Slim.

“They are … the main cause” of climate change

False. According to science: “the main cause of the current global warming trend is human expansion of the ‘greenhouse effect’—warming that results when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from Earth toward space.”

“Energy efficiency is good for the American people, for the earth we live in”
